According to studies done by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the lakes and streams across Minnesota are contaminated by

pharmaceuticals, cosmetic ingredients, and endocrine-disrupting compounds. Even in remote areas of the state, chemicals such as antibiotics, nicotine breakdown products, antidepressants, and medications to regulate diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure, were detected. The insect repellent DEET was detected in 91% of the lakes studied. Previous studies showed that these compounds often turned up downstream from wastewater treatment plants but recent research has shown that they are also found even in remote lakes or upstream waters.
Researchers believe that these chemicals enter the water table through septic systems and stormwater __________ and are not impacted by wastewater treatment plants.
A) collection
B) pollution
C) runoff
D) treatment

They belong to different species and yet they are called a robin in both the United states of America and in England. That is why in science, the binary system is preferred to using common names

bisphosphoglyceric acid (bpg) is a byproduct of glycolysis released into the bloodstream when an animal's supply of oxygen is lo
valentina_108 [34]

When an animal's oxygen supply is limited, bisphospoglyceric acid increases the oxygen level by acclamitization.

Acclimatization is the term used to describe the advantageous physiological changes brought on by frequent exposure to a hot climate. Increased sweating effectiveness is one of these physiological modifications. It is converted into a molecule identical to that of 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (2,3BPG). A mechanism called 2,3BPG is employed to control the effective emission of oxygen from haemoglobin. As one of the processes of acclimatization, 1,3-BPG levels will rise in a patient's blood when concentration is low. Low oxygen levels increase 1,3BPG levels, which in turn increase 2,3BPG levels and change how well oxygen separates from hemoglobin.

Answer:

Explanation:

some gases prevent the escape of heat from the earth.There will be an increase in the percentage of such gases would cause the average temperatures to increase world wide.This is known as greenhouse effect.Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases.An increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere woul cause more heat to be retained by the atmosphere and lead to global warming.
